Tool Shed just launched in Calgary a couple weeks ago.
They have three beers that they're brewing to start. A cream ale called People Skills, an IPA called Star Cheek, and an amber called Red Rage. Its a fun brand with each label coming with a story as to why they went with each name.
People Skills is great. Its smooth and crisp.
Star Cheek is a solid IPA. It has a strong hoppiness which I love in an IPA.
Red Rage is a dark brew. Its darker than something I would drink for a regular brew.
I had the opportunity to attend their launch party last week at National on 17th. It was a regular night for National but they had pints of Tool Shed on special for $6.50.
As the media has pointed out, Tool Shed is over a year away from having an permanent home in the city, but they're eventually going to have a brewery down by Big Rock.
